Often going to France from Freiburg.
I use bus/tram to get to the spot, then trying to catch a car. Most cars to the south, so finding a French car can take a long time. Stil the best option I found so far to travel Freiburg->France.

Good place to go south from Freiburg. Asking people at the gas station or parking lot is the best option. We tried going to France but didn't find many.

It's a good spot but not very frequent, I was lucky and got a ride after 15 minutes. It's good for crashing too, slept on the field behind the petrol station couple of years ago. Good luck!

On a friday evening (20:00) this gas station was almost abandoned. When we finally got a ride it brought us to our final destination Basel (CH)

Dir: South (Basel) only!!!
Gasstation Schauinsland
OK traffic
You can get here from Freiburg by taking Bus No. 36 towards Hochdorf, exit Bus station Högestraße. Makes sense if you're trying to make a long distance. Otherwise you might just stay at Kronenbrücke, all together it will take the same amount of time.
Coming from the north it works the same, if you want to get to freiburg let them drop you out here, try to find someone who is going directly to freiburg or take bus no. 36.
